16We get Pisces!
- Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac.
- Being the 12th sign it represents the final stage
in the evolution of man and his place in the
universe. - In this sign is the desire to use all that has
been learned and assimilated in order to gain
perfection, of man as an individual and humanity
as a whole.
17Pisceans readily adapt to change!
18Pisces Astrological Symbol
- Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in
opposite directions. Pisceans often feel like
they are being pulled in different directions,
making it difficult to make concrete decisions.
The symbol of the fish has been associated with
followers of Jesus Christ.

open-minded.
22The Pisces Myth
Typhon, Aphrodite, Eros
The Little Mermaid
23Typhon
24AphroditeandEros
25The Little Mermaid
26What is the Little Mermaid story?
In many fairy tales there is a peculiar and
enchanting figure, sometimes called an ondine or
melusine, sometimes called a mermaid
falls in love with a mortal man
Legend of the Swan Prince
- the union of a mortal with something from
another level of reality - the meeting is fraught with difficulties
- there are always conditions attached
- it usually ends in disaster or difficulty
- because of the ineptitude of the mortal
27How does this relate to Pisces?
- Pisces is the last sign, the completion of the
cycle. - Every sign leaves its trace in Pisces there is
not so much a particular Piscean dilemma as that
Pisces embodies the human dilemma. - In this last of the zodiacal signs is represented
all of mans helplessness, his longings, his
dreams, his needs, his powerlessness in the face
of the universe, his delusions of grandeur, his
longing for love, his sense of a mystery or a
divine source which he strives for, yet cannot
wholly reach without great sacrifice.
28- You might say that in every Pisces, symbolized by
the two fishes trying to swim in opposite
directions yet bound together by a golden cord,
there is this dilemma of the meeting of two
dimensions. - There is the ordinary mortal side, which is used
to facts and realities of a tangible kind. - And there is also that which inhabits the dark
depths, and which occasionally flashes its tail
above the water, catching the sunlight,
entrancing the mortal on the shore. - How this meeting is dealt with is the story of
each Piscean life.
29- Some Pisceans simply follow the mermaid down,
forgetting that human lungs cannot survive
underwater. Here we have the derelicts of
humanity, the lines of the junkies and the
chronic alcoholics and the hopeless, the waster,
the despairing, the abject. - Or the escapism of Aphrodite and Eros.
- For other Pisceans, the fairy tale has a
different ending. It is here that we can see the
genius of men such as Einsteinwhere the glimpse
of other realms and of a universe barely
comprehensible to the ordinary mind in its
majesty and infinityis translated through the
human brain, offering to the world a charting of
the unknown waters.
30- Obviously, not every Piscean is an Einstein or a
drunkard. - But perhaps the task of every Piscean is to come
to terms in some way with the transpersonal
realm, and to have the courage to be its
mouthpiece. - Here we find the poets and musicians, the great
actors and playwrights, the visionaries and
mystics who attempt to bring to ordinary life a
glimpse of something else. (Which you will note
in our list of those born in Pisces.) - This can be through a work of art, or it can
exist in the humblest expressions of human love.
31Pisces and Christianity
- Associations of the Christ story with
astronomical factors abound. As the Bull and Ram
had been worshipped during the preceding Ages of
Taurus and Aries, the Fishes became the great
mystical symbol. Christ was said to be a fisher
of men - Another Christian symbol, the sacrificed lamb,
likely refers to the end of the prior age, Aries,
just as the slaying of the Bull is believed to
represent the end of the Age of Taurus. - On the way to his Crucifixion, Christ made twelve
stops, known as the Stations of the Cross,
another allusion to the twelve Zodiacal signs.
32- Similarly the death of Christ, the Crucifixion,
could contains a symbolic reference to the end of
the Age of Pisces when the Age of Aquarius
begins. Christs body was fixed to the Cross
(Cruci-fixion) but astrologers know of something
called the Fixed Cross. This is the group of
four so-called fixed Zodiacal signs forming a
cross within the circle of the Zodiac Taurus,
Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. When the Vernal Point
precesses into Aquarius, the four seasonal
points, the two Equinoxes and two Solstices,
themselves always forming a cross, will have
moved into the fixed signs or Fixed Cross of the
Zodiac from the mutable signs where they are now.
33- The Fish are one of its great symbols. Why?
- Firstly, there is the aspiration.
- Second to the aspiration is the urge towards
self-sacrifice. - Compassion and love of an impersonal, unbiased
kind are also Piscean virtues extolled in this
last era. Love thy neighbour as thyself, turn
the other cheek - these are Piscean aspirations.
Of course you have to remember that there's
another fish to the pair, too. But much of the
history of religion in the last two thousand
years has forgotten about that second fish. It's
locked down in the basement, and popularly
referred to as the Devil.

41The Labours of Hercules
42The Labour in Pisces
- There are several variations of the myth
concerning the labor of Hercules in the sign
Pisces. We are told that there was an island
where lived a human monster with a body of three
men united. He had a herd of red cattle, guarded
by a shepherd and a two-headed dog. Hercules
received orders (Pisces is the sign of obedience)
to bring these cattle from the island, across
land and water to the sacred city.
43Hercules completes his task
- Hercules sailed to the island in a golden cup and
when he arrived there he climbed to the top of a
mountain and spent the night in prayer.
44Hercules completes his task
- Then he killed the two-headed dog but he did not
kill the shepherd.
45Hercules completes his task
- He also killed the owner of the red cattle.
46Hercules completes his task
- Here is the beautiful part of the story Hercules
placed all of the cattle in the golden cup, in
which he had sailed over to the island, took them
to the Sacred City, and offered them in sacrifice
to Athena, Goddess of Wisdom.
47What is the three-bodied man?
Hercules has had a vision of something he has to
do. He sees humanity owned by a monster, a
three-bodied man, the symbol of a human being
with mental, emotional and physical bodies
united. Now humanity, the human monster, is ready
for salvation and the real work of The World
Savior can begin as a whole with the group
concept underlying the work rather than
individual soul saving.
48What are the red cattle, shepherd two-headed
dog?
The two-headed dog representing the matter aspect
and the psychic nature. You see why Hercules
spared the shepherd. The mind can still be the
shepherd of the cattle but the two-headed dog,
the psychic-emotional nature and the matter
aspect, Hercules killed, which means that they
were deprived of any power.
The symbolism of the red cattle is plainly that
of the lower desires, desire being ever an
outstanding characteristic of humanity.
. They are guarded by a shepherd, which is the
mind.
49Transmitter of Light
If Jesus or Hercules, or you as a human being,
en rapport with his your soul, becomes a
transmitter of light to the sons of men, so we
can extend the concept and think of humanity as a
whole with all minds held steady in the light,
transmitting to lower kingdoms in nature that
spiritual energy which will raise them up into
heaven. That is the work of humanity. We are so
occupied with our own problems that we forget the
larger picture. It is to be noted again that the
keeper of the cattle, the form aspect, was also
killed but the shepherd and the cattle were
raised up in the golden cup.
